THOUGHTS FROM OUR HEAD OF SCHOOL, JOSEPH VORBACH:
Happy Easter everyone. Our Faith, the foundation of our school mission, is rooted in the miracle of Christ's birth and the redemption made possible by His death and resurrection. The joy of the resurrection can be a source of inspiration for all of us as we work to be like Christ for others.
I hope you were able to see the performance of Into the Woods last weekend. It was a remarkable effort by an exceptionally talented group. On Sunday, I chose to watch the second act from the balcony and this was an opportunity to see the tech crew in action, never missing a beat as they skillfully handled lighting and sound and special effects. The O'Connell Players have gotten a lot of well deserved kudos from within and outside the community for their wonderful performances. (See photos from this weekend's performances and read a recently published review.)
There are two great opportunities to be part of the O'Connell community on Saturday, April 29. You can start the day with our second annual 5K and Fun Run at the school and then join us later in the day for the Festival of the Arts, which I mentioned briefly last week. The Festival theme is "women" and many of the student works are inspired by the strength and courage of women.
Safe journeys to all who are traveling over the holiday. Happy Easter!
